Oakland

This modest county seat in western Maryland sits close to Deep Creek Lake and the Wisp Ski Resort, with a historic district that makes it one of the more walkable towns in the area. An unusual concentration of churches for a village its size adds to the streetscape, and its position near the West Virginia border gives it a mountain-edge character.
